Um... you might want to look at my profile. In addition to working at MS and Apple for two decades (where I touched everything from firmware, ring-0, and ring-3), I was on the team that created SoftICE [0]: the first commercial ring-0 debugger for Windows. I also created the automated deadlock detector for BoundsChecker [1], which requires an in-depth understanding of operating system internals. > computer systems whose backend implementations you are blissfully ignorant of I am extremely confident in my "backend" knowledge (of course, an actual systems engineer would never refer to their work as "backend"). You wrote a "C++ framework" that runs in the "backend" of a "computer system"? Do I have that right? Please let me know what it is so that I can decompile it and see how it was implemented!

  See? I have no problem sharing/discussing what I've built. Throughout this entire thread they only thing you've done is bullshit. And again, remember that this started because you thought coroutines were "intimidating" while trying to mansplain how they worked to someone who literally built that functionality. But sure... let's keep going while you do nothing but whine without displaying any technical acumen. This is fun! Why don't you hop into the discussion of the early Windows ring-3-to-ring-0 transition issues [0] we had in the 90s? You know... since I am "blissfully ignorant" about internals. I can't wait to learn from your "backend" expertise!! [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47611921#47612953 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47611921#47612953

    You do love your scare quotes, eh? How old are you? 14? Bye!

      I'm the one trying to have a meaningful technical discussion with someone who finds a basic part of C++ intimidating. One of us worked on two of the most popular development tools of all time, and the other makes shit up and refuses to engage with technical details. Also, since you know what I've worked on, it should be pretty obvious how old I am.
